Lucknow: Three Peace Party MLAs, who quit on Saturday are now planning to join the ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh.

According to the sources, aiming at political ambition and considering no future in Peace Party, the three MLAs decided to switch loyalties to the SP.

The MLAs accused national president Mohammad Ayub of working closely with BJP leaders to "create communal unrest in the state".
